netcode-revival: force the party struct's gate bytes (Track 1)

The party state machine (sub_82A1B310) cannot leave state 1 because the
game's EA-Nation flag (party+417) is 0 - set at party-create from a
config-string comparison (sub_82F4DA40) that never matches in the recomp.
The party struct is a static object at 0x82FD9750, so the periodic live-force
now also sets +417 (EA-Nation flag), +421 (online flag) and +423 (EA
connected marker). With byte417=1 the machine advances through the signin
gate, XNetConnect and XNetGetConnectStatus==2 to the 'session ready' state,
which unlocks session advertise/join (the actual netcode path).
